Monroe, Hillsboro and Manatee Coun-
ties.
Dispatches from Key West state that

to-day by mistake, the Board of Health
mistaking drunkenness for fever, was
discharged after examination, and when
sober became very indignant.
Another smack left this morning with
refugees for Indian River.
The Jacksonville Board of Health Gre
ated a sensation to-day by their report of
the condition of the county jail, which
they severely censured, stating that forty

considered disgrace. They recon-
mended that the prisoners be at once re-
moved to the stockade, and the premises
be thoroughly reconstructed.

gram this evening from DIR. Bruner at
Punta Gorda, stating that the Board of

viii continue down the coast, thoroughly
inspecting, and will report any negli-
gence. DIR. Bruner's opinion of Jack
sonville is satisfactory. CARTER.

How strikes Help the Workingmen-

CHICAGO, June 10.-The blast furnaces
and steel mills of the South Chicago roll
ing mill closed down last night ON ac-
count of the exhaustion of the supply of
coke. and 300 of the 2. 100 men employed
were thrown out of employment in con-
sequence. The exhaustion of the coke
supply is caused by strike now pend
ing in the coke regions. The rail mill
will be kept running until Saturday
night when that department will also be
shut down and 100 men employed there
will be laid off. Three hundred men
will be retained on the docks and max
ing repairs about the mills.
South Chicago has a population of 12,-
600. and of these 1900 draw their sup
port from the rolling mill the pay roll
amounting to Sl25. 900 a month. As the
employees as a class are not provident
this stoppage will entail hardships. The
moment the strike in the coke region
ends the mills will resume operations.

Directions for smuerllne.

When you go to Paso del Norte yon
will of course desire to indulge that
taste for defrauding the revenue of
your country which is Inherent in the
American character, and if YOU are dis
posed to be moderate i'm vonr indulg-
ence of this taste, YOU can manage the
matter without much difficulty, and At
no very great expense, for the articles
you buy in Paso del Norte and smuggle
across the river will not cost YOU much
more than if you bought them of mer-
chants on the American side. A set of
Mexican filagree jewelry, for example,
which the American shopkeepers in FL
Paso sell for 81, can be bought in Paso
del NOrte for about IS. aud so the Joy
of smuggling the things across will
cost you only about 49, nv advice,
however, is to smuggle very little. as
the stocks of such things in the FL
Paso shops are much fuller and more
varied than those on the other side.
As to the pleasure of telling your
friends that you bought particular
thing in Mexico, that may he had in
any case. remember what Chesterfield
said to his son who wished to go down
into coal mine for the sake of being
able to say that he had done so. You
can say it. just rs we'll without doing
it, was the paternal adnonition.
But if you must do little SNUG
Cling, buy cigars. The Mexican weeds
are good and really cheap, Very large
ones of fine flavor can be had for 81. SO
a hundred, and if you .'break the box
by taking out three or four, the dealer
will inform You, there will be no duty
TO pay. Then, by concealing the box
about Your person and looking guilty
you may have the pleasure of risKing
fine and imprisonment. Perhaps bet
ter way is to be honest, and self-re-
specting, buy your box of cigars and
carry them openly, as did mine. hold
ing yourself ready to pay the duty
when it is demanded. The customs
officers, in that case. will casually
glance into the car. observe that YOU
are simply a tourist taking back some
cigars for your own use and saw moth
ing to You on the subject. You will
lose the pleasure of feeling guilty aud
dishonest, but you will get your cigars
all the same at the Mexican price, and
you can afterward chat without fear
with the customs officers and find out
good deal that is interesting from
them--C0r. Aetc HOrk, Commercial Id

Russia's Last Sovereign.

prophesied that the reigning sovereign
of Russia would prove her Louis XVLs
but he does not yet seem TO have APP

murder. and the general gloom which
pervaded the whole city directly it was
known and the sorrow and anxiety on
the face of almost everybody one met
did not look as if monarchy were very
speedily to be extinguished there. The
conspirators were hanged early in the
morning in the presence of large
crowd, who only seemed surprised that
they were allowed to make their exit
from this world with so little suffering
All educated Russians evidently felt an
interest in and sympathy with the
young sovereign who had assembled the
throne under such painful Circumstance

ialism, if not autocracy, in Russia had
still long lease of life. That Russian
statesmen might be tempted TO get rid
of an expensive court and an over
grown royal family we might easily be-

financial condition, which. after all,
is not. perhaps, quite 50 desperate as it
suits Berlin and Vienna bankers to
make out. But the experience of France
may be quoted to show that republic
may be not less costly than monarchy,

variety of hostile nationalities, to her
